The cold air and breezy conditions that take hold in Greater New York on Thursday seem far better suited for late November than the second half of October.

A weak area of low pressure moves across the tri-state area on Thursday, prompting the day’s morning sunshine to slowly give way to afternoon clouds. A few isolated showers may pop up late in the day, but overall, dry weather is expected across the entire region.

Thursday’s high temperatures won’t be very high, rising only into the lower to middle 50s. A brisk northwest wind at nine to 15 mph, with stronger gusts possible, adds an extra shot of coolness to the day. These temperatures are unseasonable, but complement the National Weather Service’s current Winter Weather Awareness Week, which promotes cold weather education and safety.
